Alcohol detoxification is only the first step in alcohol treatment. The Detox should be a medical detox using medication to prevent dangerous withdrawal symptoms. It is safer to treat alcoholic patients in a hospital setting.

After alcohol detoxification occurs, it is necessary to address underlying issues, which possibly cause the alcoholic to drink or may have been caused by the side effects of the alcohol itself, including attention deficit disorder, depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, food allergies, hypoglycemia, vitamin, mineral, or essential fatty acid deficiencies and hormone imbalance. Please see links at right

Alcohol Detox 

Florida Detox has pioneered a painless scientific alcohol Detox! Alcohol detox should not be painful. Our patients state that our alcohol detox prevents 98% of the withdrawal symptoms they had experienced at other detox centers.

Our medical detox for alcohol consists of 5-7 days in Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital. Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital has recently been ranked by Health Grades in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for safety and quality control. We use intravenous medications which are more effective in preventing the alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Our patients DO NOT experience anxiety, muscle twitching, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated blood pressure, tremors seizures or hallucinations. During the hospital stay patients undergo rejuvenation therapy with intravenous vitamins and nutrients facilitating their initial transition into recovery and wellness.

Our three month alcohol treatment program provides an integrated approach toward holistic treatment and wellness. Patients are evaluated for brain chemistry (psychological) issues such as attention deficit disorder, anxiety disorder, depression, insomnia, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, hidden food allergies, hypoglycemia and system fungal overgrowth. This comprehensive treatment gets to the root cause of the alcohol craving and results in more effective prevention of relapse. Talk therapy, 12-step and spiritual counseling are more powerful once these issues are treated appropriately.

After completing a safe, compassionate alcohol detox in a higher quality medical environment than the average rehab center, the physicians at Florida Detox will begin to diagnose and treat your genetic (inherited) biochemical factors which usually remove the craving for alcohol. Spiritual counseling is vitally important to ensure healing of emotional wounds and soul pain. We believe strongly in the combination of modern science and God's anointed power to heal.
